Zane-- you can't be sure of that.

But I shall keep my distance, don't fret. I can do that.

...do you young folk share evenings? You look so low I hope you have company.

Private

[godsays]

I can. But what I was told, I was told in confidence.

[godsays]

Do you think I should apologize to those people?

[He still isn't sure.]
